Visual Studio - Third Party Data Grid - Which One?

[ddclondon]

What would you recommend as the best Data Grid to replace the DataGridView control within VS?

The results of my first line research would indicate that Xceed is worth looking at but I would welcome any thoughts on this matter.

Thanks

Is there any specific reason why you want to replace the standard DGV ¿

A perceived lack of functionality when compared to the likes of True DBGrid from ComponentOne although I have not, as yet, use the latter extensively.

I've use DevExpress tools for a few years, and they were great looking, fast with huge tables, and had a few bells and whistles that allowed it to adapt to any data types. They had a cool grid that I wouldn't bother to try to write myself.

The only reason to get one, is if it has a feature that's easier to buy than to make

Thank you for sharing that.
